  • Patent number: 11361598
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a motor vehicle including an automated driving function, including differing modes of operation for bringing the motor vehicle to a standstill, at least one energy store, in particular a battery, supplying at least one consumer which is able to bring the vehicle to a standstill, a respective load profile being assigned to the respective mode of operation, which usually occurs in this mode of operation upon activation of the consumer, at least one characteristic variable of the energy store being predicted as a function of at least one of the load profiles, and the mode of operation associated with the load profile and/or the automated driving function being unblocked, blocked, left or influenced as a function of the predicted characteristic variable of the energy store.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190217867
    Abstract: A method for operating an electrical system of a motor vehicle, the vehicle electrical system including a plurality of components, a prediction of a future state of at least one component in the form of a state analysis being made from values regarding a loading capacity of the at least one component, a decision being made about enabling at least one driving function of the motor vehicle as a function of a result of the state analyses carried out, the driving function being supported by the at least one component of the vehicle electrical system.

  • Publication number: 20190212391
    Abstract: A method and a system are presented for monitoring a battery in a motor vehicle. In the method, a first module ascertains operating quantities of the battery. Variables that represent the operating quantities are compared with a load capacity model in order to ascertain quantities characterizing the reliability of the battery, so that a future behavior of the battery can be predicted.
